wip rectangles



Inspired by this and wanting a little break from work I made this partial hurricane cover. I say partial, because my initial intent was to go all the way around, but time doesn't allow for that right now. In order to make the process quicker I eyeballed everything (no measurements) and made the sizes of the rectangles random. What did I use? Regular office printer paper from our recycle stash, an Xacto and a ruler.

Thank you for the warm anniversary wishes. :)

Now back to work!

    Thanks lucky! :)

    The hurricane is actually a glass cylinder that has no base/bottom. It's sitting on a table and the paper is on the inside of the hurricane (temporary - since that obviously isn't safe!) When I'm done I'll have the cover on the outside of the hurricane.

    Lovely! I kind of like that it's like a window and not all the way around, though I imagine it would look pretty all the way around, too.

    That is so nice and simple, I think I like the pattern on just a part of the lantern as well. Happy anniversary!

    Thanks Kirsten, Cherryskin and Lotta!

    Amy - There is no metal ring at the bottom. What you're looking at is the edge of the glass that's shiny and appears metallic.

    Isn't amazing how you can make something so beautiful from just ordinary items if you take the time?

    Think this will look fantastic when you're able to finish it... although I also agree with cherryskin in that it looks great as it is in the photo

    I think it's better this way, just a window! And I prefer much more your work as the one that inspired you, it's always nice to see how beautiful you can interpret other thing, more common!
